Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method for reducing unwanted hair. It uses a concentrated beam of light that targets the melanin in hair follicles, damaging them to prevent future hair growth.
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future growth.

The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as hair type, skin type, and the treatment area. On average, most clients need 6-8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
To maintain optimal results, periodic top-up sessions may be necessary. Top-up sessions are dictated by factors such as hair growth cycles or hormones.
Our laser hair removal is generally well-tolerated. Some clients may experience mild discomfort, often described as a slight tingling or snapping sensation. Our advanced laser technology includes cooling mechanisms to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Laser hair removal can be used on almost any part of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, and chest.
Most side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or slight irritation in the treated area. These usually subside within a few hours to a few days.
Before your treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams for at least four – six weeks prior to treatment.
